Description: This inspiring book is dedicated to one of Vietnam's unique art forms: silk painting.

While in other mediums, the canvas or wood is covered with paint, in silk, every thread is visible and the silk fiber is nearly intact, contributing to a very refined effect.

Until the 1930's, Vietnamese silk painting had known no creators, with the exception of Nguyen Phan Chanh, whose work was known mostly in Europe. Since then, Vietnamese silk paintings have been presented at various exhibitions, in VietNam as well as abroad. This is an opportunity to discover the rich history and bright future of Vietnamese Silk Painting.
